In the courtyard, the energetic Eleven was training earnestly.
Shiyu, on the other hand, was holding a Spirit Stone and meditating.
If the group of apprentice beast masters saw this, they would surely be ashamed.
After all, Shiyu and his group had just broken through four levels of the ruins in the morning, engaging in countless battles.
As a result, in the afternoon, they showed no signs of resting and continued training... It was simply the behavior of beasts.
"Indeed, it is much faster than meditating on my own."
Shiyu put down the Spirit Stone, feeling a sense of relief.
"If only there were more of these stones."
Shiyu found the reason for his slow cultivation.
To quickly enhance the level of the Beast Master Space through meditation, one must be fully concentrated.
However, after teaching Eleven new skills, he was always mentally and physically exhausted, with no energy left for meditation.
Over time, the progress in enhancing the level of the Beast Master Space slowed down.
In the end, it was all Eleven's fault.
Shiyu completely blamed Eleven for his slow cultivation.
Eleven, in the middle of training: (??ˇ?ˇ??)???
"After adding points to Eleven this time, I need to take some time to enhance the level of the Beast Master Space," Shiyu thought to himself.
However, before that, Shiyu opened his phone and logged into the shopping website.
He bought fifteen Divine Beans and various other supplements, spending about 2 million.
Now, with the initial 10 million, less than 7 million remained.
But with these, he could almost bring all of Eleven's skills to the Proficient level.
"Really, it's a huge expense..."
Looking at the balance, Shiyu felt the pain.
It seemed that even with the Skill Codex, the 10 million starting funds might not be enough to bring all of Eleven's skills to the Perfect level, let alone the Master level.
If a super-level skill or mythic ability came along, and he wanted to max it out, the supplements would cost tens of millions.
At that time, he would probably have to eat "dragon liver and phoenix marrow"...
In the end, it all came down to a lack of money. The Skill Codex allowed him to improve his pet's skill proficiency faster than other beast masters, but the cost was in gold.
However, the gold spent was worth it. After all, other beast masters also had to buy nutritional supplements to train their pets, and in terms of cost-effectiveness, Shiyu's method was definitely higher.
That night.
Shiyu took out one of the two remaining Divine Beans and a Ginseng Baby Root, and called Eleven to add points.
Eleven: ?·°(???﹏???)°·?!!
Eleven, who had been training all day, endured with tears, worried about failing to live up to the points added.
He set a goal to connect six levels next time.
"Don't worry, with effort and a bit of luck, even the gods can't stop us," Shiyu consoled him.
That night, the introductory-level Intimidate skill was upgraded to the Proficient level.
The Intimidate skill, which previously could only boost or weaken morale, immediately became a mental attack skill.
The upgrade in the Intimidate skill's level not only meant that Eleven could instantly defeat weaker opponents with just his aura but also indicated that any mental debuff skills would have minimal effect on him.
However, this time, the side effects of teaching the skill seemed to affect not just Shiyu.
Some special skills could subtly change a pet's temperament and personality.
For example, the Frenzy skill, if used frequently, could easily make a pet become crazy, violent, and irrational.
The Intimidate skill was similar; it could instill a sense of dominance and confidence in the pet, rooted in the mental and spiritual level.
Eleven: (／‵Д′)／~ Roar!!!
Sure enough, after the Intimidate skill was upgraded, Eleven immediately became overconfident.
He wanted to go through the levels right away, taking on a hundred opponents at once.
Shiyu was silent, not expecting the Intimidate skill to also have a dumbing-down effect.
"MDZZ, go to sleep."
Eleven could be irrational, but Shiyu couldn't be.
This time, no one could persuade him; he needed to focus on development first!
He aimed to max out the skill levels in one go, breaking through all the levels to save time from frequent challenges.
To calm Eleven down, Shiyu used him as a pillow again that night...
This left the panda king Eleven in deep thought.
A king cannot be disgraced!!!
Unless, it's by his own beast master.
...
The next morning.
Shiyu was still leisurely lying on the courtyard sofa, meditating.
Occasionally, he glanced at his phone to check the delivery status of his purchases.
As he watched, he put on his headphones and started watching a show.
Indeed, watching shows was the best.
However, Shiyu didn't admit to slacking off; he just wanted to stimulate his creativity through various films and TV shows to lay the groundwork for finding new skills.
In this world, movies were mostly about pets, rarely about humans.
Pets were the absolute hot topic; as long as the pets in the works were eye-catching, the box office wouldn't be low.
For example, the movie Shiyu was currently watching told the story of a high school boy meeting a different-race beast girl in a dream and searching for each other.
"Wow."
Shiyu exclaimed, "An interworld version of 'Your Name'?"
Ending with the male protagonist ultimately contracting with a mermaid princess and working together to solve a tsunami?
They really dared to make it!
As Shiyu was thinking about how he never encountered such good fortune, he felt a poke in his side.
He looked up and saw the clumsy Eleven staring at him.
"What?"
"Chirp!" The fluffy Eleven stared with big eyes and pointed outside.
It meant the delivery had arrived.
Shiyu was so engrossed in the show that he didn't hear the sound.
"!!!" Shiyu put away his phone and ran to collect the delivery.
Outside, it was still the familiar Swift Wings, and the familiar delivery guy.
"Brother, it's you again..."
The delivery guy thought, "I knew this address seemed familiar. As soon as I got here, I remembered."
Isn't this the apprentice beast master who spent a fortune on supplements not long ago?
It's been less than a week, and he's back?
Hey!
"May you stay healthy."
The delivery guy knew nothing and dared not ask more, only wishing Shiyu good health.
"Safe travels, take care." Shiyu also wished him well, spreading kindness everywhere.
Thus, Shiyu received another large box of supplements.
A moment later, in the courtyard, Shiyu, Eleven, and the Green Silk Worm looked at the large box of supplements, lost in thought.
In the past, without supplements, Shiyu was afraid to teach skills.
Now, with a pile of supplements, Shiyu was still afraid to teach skills.
Although both were fear, they meant different things. Shiyu could only say that the meaning of words was profound.
"Ah!!!"
He had to make use of his awakened talent, no matter what! Just add the points!
...
At the same time.
Ice Plains City, Pingcheng District.
Beast Master Association Headquarters.
President Feng, after observing the situation near the ruins on the first day, returned to the association on the second day, leaving everything to Captain He Biao.
As the president of the city's association, he had too many things to handle.
At that moment, in the large conference room, President Feng was on a video call with the presidents of the other eight districts and counties of Ice Plains City.
Among the nine districts and counties of Ice Plains City, four were in the city center, well-developed, while Pingcheng and the other four districts and counties were near the snow mountains, in the suburbs.
"Based on President Feng's information... let's discuss the activation of the Evolution Holy Spring."
